Can vehicle annual inspection be handled by an agent?

It can be handled by an agent. Required documents for vehicle owners: Submit the agent's identity proof (if the agent is an organization, the handler's identity proof is also required), along with a written authorization from the vehicle owner. Required vehicle documents: Vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle safety technical inspection certificate issued by an authorized inspection agency (except for exempted vehicles), and vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate. Note: If there are inconsistencies in the recorded information on the vehicle license plate number, registration certificate, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, or vehicle safety technical inspection certificate, the vehicle inspection compliance mark will not be issued.

As a veteran driver with 15 years of experience, I've helped relatives and friends with annual vehicle inspections over ten times. It's indeed allowed to have someone else handle the inspection, but you need to understand the process. First, you must prepare the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card, the vehicle registration certificate, the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, and a signed power of attorney. Last week when I helped my neighbor with the inspection, we ran into a minor issue - his headlights weren't bright enough and got rejected, so we had to replace the bulbs on-site to pass. The biggest advantage of having someone else handle it is saving time, as the owner doesn't need to take time off work. But I recommend clearing any traffic violations beforehand to avoid wasted trips like my first time doing this. If the car has many old issues, it's best to have a comprehensive check at a repair shop first to prevent repeated rejections at the inspection line, which would only cause more delays.

I just used a platform to handle my vehicle annual inspection last month, and the overall experience was quite hassle-free. I originally thought it would be complicated, but it was as simple as uploading photos of my ID card and vehicle license on the app, paying a 300-yuan service fee, and having a staff member pick up my car the same day. The agent even took me to the inspection station to see the whole process and noticed my brake pad warning light was on—they adjusted it for free. Two key points to note: you need to sign an electronic authorization agreement when using the service, and ensure your insurance is valid before the inspection. Nowadays, mobile operations are incredibly convenient. For someone like me recovering from a leg injury at home, I didn’t even have to step outside to get it done—completely unlike three years ago when I had to queue up at the inspection station early in the morning.
